Ingredients

- 2 kg new potatoes
- 150 g grated cow telemea cheese
- 50 g grated cheese
- 6 eggs
- 50 g butter
- 500 ml milk
- 100 g Delaco cheese
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon vegeta
- 1 bunch chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for greasing the dish

Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the Potatoes

Start by peeling and thoroughly washing the potatoes. It is essential to use new potatoes as they are sweeter and softer. In a large pot, add salted water and place the potatoes to boil. Boil them until they start to soften, but do not let them boil completely - a range of 10-15 minutes should be sufficient. After boiling, drain the water and let them cool slightly.

Step 2: Cutting the Potatoes

Once cooled, cut the potatoes into thicker slices, about 1-2 cm. These thicker slices will maintain the texture and juiciness of the potatoes during baking.

Step 3: Preparing the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, beat the 6 eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Add the milk, cumin, vegeta, chopped parsley, and dill. Mix well until all ingredients are completely combined. The cumin will add a special, aromatic, and slightly spicy note that will blend perfectly with the cheese.

Step 4: Assembling the Dish

In a heat-resistant dish (preferably clay for even baking), grease the bottom and sides with butter. Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes, then pour some of the egg mixture over them. Continue alternating layers of potatoes and egg mixture until all ingredients are used. Finally, place a few cubes of butter on top for added flavor.

Step 5: Baking

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven at 180°C. Let it bake for 60-90 minutes. At the end of the baking time, remove the foil and add the grated cheese and telemea. Continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese becomes golden and crispy on top.

Serving

Once the dish is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle plenty of grated telemea on top for a special visual and taste effect. These potatoes are delicious served warm, alongside a fresh salad or even with a flavored yogurt sauce.
